Genesis 9
1 And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth;
Afei, Onyankopɔn hyiraa Noa ne ne mmabarima no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monwo, na monyɛ bebree nhyɛ asase so ma.
2 and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth, and on every fowl of the heavens, on all that creepeth on the ground, and on all fishes of the sea — into your hand they have been given.
Mo ho hu ne mo ho suro bɛtɔ mmoa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa ne wim nnomaa nyinaa ne abɔde a wɔwɔ asase so ne nsu mu mpataa nyinaa so. Wɔn nyinaa hyɛ mo nsa.
3 Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;
Biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu, na ɛkeka ne ho no bɛyɛ mo aduan. Sɛnea mede nhabammono hyɛɛ mo nsa no, afei de, mede biribiara ma mo.
4 only flesh in its life — its blood — ye do not eat.
“Nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ mowe aboa a wontwaa ne mene mmaa ne mogya no ngui no nam.
5 'And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of man, from the hand of every man's brother I require the life of man;
Na wo nkwa de, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, mebisa ho akontaabu. Onipa a okum ne yɔnko nipa no, mebisa no ho asɛm. Mpo, aboa biara a obekum onipa no, mewɔ saa aboa no nso asɛmmisa. Mebisa onipa kra ho asɛm.
6 whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in the image of God hath He made man.
“Obiara a ohwie onipa mogya gu no, onipa so na wɔnam behwie ɔno nso mogya agu, efisɛ Onyankopɔn no ara sɛso na ɔbɔɔ onipa.
7 And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and multiply in it.'
Mo de, monwo, na monyɛ bebree. Mo ase mfɛe wɔ asase so, na monnɔɔso.”
8 And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him, saying,
Afei, Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa ne ne mmabarima a wɔka ne ho no se,
9 'And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,
“Nnɛ, me ne mo ne mo asefo a wɔbɛwo wɔn no
10 and with every living creature which [is] with you, among fowl, among cattle, and among every beast of the earth with you, from all who are going out of the ark — to every beast of the earth.
ne abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a na wɔwɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ Adaka no mu yɛ apam: nnomaa, nyɛmmoa ne wuram mmoa a wɔne mo fi Adaka no mu bae no nyinaa, ne abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a wɔwɔ asase so.
11 And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh is not any more cut off by waters of a deluge, and there is not any more a deluge to destroy the earth.'
Me ne mo yɛ mʼapam sɛ: Meremfa nsuyiri nsɛe abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a ɛwɔ asase so. Saa ara nso na meremfa nsuyiri nsɛe asase bio da.”
12 And God saith, 'This is a token of the covenant which I am giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is] with you, to generations age-during;
Na Onyankopɔn kae se, “Eyi ne apam a me, Onyankopɔn, ne mo ne abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu biara a wɔka mo ho no ne nkyirimma nyinaa reyɛ no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne.
13 My bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a token of a covenant between Me and the earth;
Mato me nyankontɔn wɔ omununkum mu. Ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛbɛda me ne asase ntam.
14 and it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud,
Bere biara a mede omununkum bɛba asase ani, na sɛ nyankontɔn pue wɔ omununkum no mu a,
15 and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters become no more a deluge to destroy all flesh;
mɛkae mʼapam a ɛda me ne mo ne abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu ahorow no nyinaa ntam. Nsuyiri a ɛbɛsɛe abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu no nyinaa remma da biara da bio.
16 and the bow hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it — to remember the covenant age-during between God and every living creature among all flesh which [is] on the earth.'
Bere biara a nyankontɔn bɛto wɔ omununkum mu no, mehu na makae apam a ɛwɔ hɔ daa a ɛda me, Onyankopɔn, ne abɔde a nkwa wɔ mu ahorow nyinaa a wɔwɔ asase yi so no ntam no.”
17 And God saith unto Noah, 'This [is] a token of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is] upon the earth.'
Enti Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Noa se, “Eyi ne apam a me ne abɔde biara a nkwa wɔ mu a wɔwɔ asase yi so ayɛ no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne.”
18 And the sons of Noah who are going out of the ark are Shem, and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan.
Eyinom ne Noa mmabarima a wofi Adaka no mu bae: Sem, Ham ne Yafet. Ham na ɔwoo Kanaan.
19 These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these hath all the earth been overspread.
Eyinom ne Noa mmabarima. Wɔn mu na nnipa a wɔahwete wɔ asase so nyinaa fi bae.
20 And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a vineyard,
Noa yɛ okuafo a odii kan. Ɔyɛɛ bobeturo.
21 and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth himself in the midst of the tent.
Da bi, ɔnom bobesa no bi bow ma ɔdaa ne ntamadan mu adagyaw.
22 And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his father, and declareth to his two brethren without.
Ham a ɔwoo Kanaan no kɔtoo nʼagya Noa sɛ ɔda adagyaw. Ofii hɔ no, ɔkɔbɔɔ ne nuabarimanom baanu no amanneɛ.
23 And Shem taketh — Japheth also — the garment, and they place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward, and their father's nakedness they have not seen.
Enti Sem ne Yafet faa atade de guu wɔn mmati so, kɔɔ nkyirinkyiri de kɔkataa wɔn agya adagyaw so. Na wɔn ani nkyerɛ wɔn agya nti, wɔanhu nʼadagyaw mu.
24 And Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his young son hath done to him,
Bere a Noa ani so tetew no, na ohuu sɛnea ne kaakyiri no ayɛ no,
25 and saith: 'Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is to his brethren.'
ɔkae se, “Nnome nka Ham asefo a wɔyɛ Kanaanfo. Wɔbɛyɛ wɔn nuanom mu nkoa mu nkoa.”
26 And he saith: 'Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.
Noa kaa bio se, “Me nhyira a efi Awurade, me Nyankopɔn, nkyɛn no nka Sem! Kanaan nyɛ Sem akoa.
27 God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.'
Onyankopɔn ntrɛw Yafet ase ne nʼasase mu. Yafet ntena Sem ntamadan mu, na Kanaan nyɛ nʼakoa.”
28 And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty years;
Nsuyiri no akyi no, Noa tenaa ase mfe ahaasa ne aduonum.
29 and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years, and he dieth.
Noa dii mfe ahankron ne aduonum, ansa na ɔrewu.
